Snook @snook.ca · 20/09/2026Southwest's web site is appalling. Losing session at seat selection. Restart, select 2 passengers and resets to 1 passenger on next screen. I feel like I must be the only person with these issues because this would be a service nightmare. 100

Snook @snook.ca · 14/08/2026Wrote a couple sentences, using a semi-colon. Does a semi-colon feel right? Maybe an em-dash. Nah, a period might be best. Had a thought that it would be nice to ask an editor a quick question like this. Is this where AI would be helpful? I asked AI and it suggested a semi-colon. Okay then. 000

Snook @snook.ca · 28/07/2026Time for a new Mac. I downsized everything to a Mac mini but would like some portability back and an iPad isn't really hitting the spot. Looking at a MacBook and feeling like Apple does a poor job of differentiating their products. 230

Snook @snook.ca · 16/06/2026I've been enjoying playing with scroll-based animations but implementations are finicky across browsers and I don't love that Firefox still has it behind a flag. It would be nice to be able to style element X that isn't a child of view-timeline. 000
